Not sure if this was a part of Donna Chang’s having to “cancel” their name or not, but they now have almost no Asian cuisine entrees on their menu. People know of this restaurant because of their history of being one of the only places in five points where you could get good Asian food. We went last night and they did still have all their normal appetizers which was great, but they have taken practically all of their Asian cuisine dishes off of their entree menu other than fried rice. They have a new dish that is some type of fried chicken and the waitress recommended it to go with the fried rice. Terrible decision. This fried chicken was $40 for 7-8 pieces of bone-in chicken (this is not a southern cooking restaurant), a stack of Hawaiian rolls still all stuck together, and a bowl of red cabbage, and it DID NOT go well with fried rice in any way. I felt like I was at butt hutt and was ordering barbecue sandwiches or something like that. All of this to say we were HIGHLY disappointed with the way Dinner Party has changed their whole menu and we will not be returning any time soon.

Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and delicious, including the dessert! The music was at a comfortable volume, allowing for easy conversation. It was a bit crowded when we arrived, but that just added to the overall positive vibe!

Everything we tried was beautifully presented and delicious, right down to the dessert! The music was loud enough to enjoy while still being able to have a conversation without any issues. It was a bit crowded when we were there, but that just added to the lively vibe!

The cocktail menu is also intriguing and innovative. I have been—and will continue to be—a frequent visitor!
